Some Elysian Drop Trooper lists...

Ok, so I have completed assembling my second squad.  I will be priming it one day this week providing that the humidity isn't too bad. 

I should be all set for the Combat Patrol campaign my son is starting on Thursday nights.  A small force of 2x Veteran squads and a Valkyrie as a dedicated transport.  We decided to allow me to use the IA8 list, so that I can field stuff as I build it, allowing me to take one as a Transport (in the normal Adepticon rules, the Valkyrie would have too much armor and would not be allowed as a Fast Attack choice.)

I am currently planning on 2 Versions of this Army, one using the IA8 list, which will be my main list for local play and Tournaments that will allow it.   I have already spoken with Rich at Jester's Playhouse, and he is fine with it, and after a discussion with the TOs of the WFN GT in South Jersey, they decided they would open up Imperial Armor lists and equipment for their tournaments as well.  All great new for me! 
The standard IG list, I will be used for other Tournaments, the first probably being the Mechanicon.  (the Friday Night Vets Tournament, will feature the IA8 list).

Here is the list I have planned so far:
Hq: Company Command.  The Commander has a Plasma pistol, Power Fist, and Homing Beacon
Vet with Grenade Launcher
Vet with Vox
Heavy Bolter Team
2x Body Guards
Valkyrie Transport with Missile Pods and LC upgrade

Hq: Long Range Ground Scanner

Troops: 1st Platoon
Command: Lt has a Plasma Pistol and Power fist
Vet with LasCutter
Vet with Grenade Launcher
Vet with Vox

Sentinel with Multi-Melta (yes it is part of the platoon!)

1st squad: Plasma pistol, Vox, Demo-charge, Flamer
2nd squad: Plasma pistol, Vox, Demo-charge, Flamer

Special weapons Team with 3x MG
Special weapons Team with 3x MG

Troops: Veteran squad with MGx3, Plasma pistol, Demo specialists
Valkyrie Transport with the Missile Pods and LC upgrade

Troops: Veteran squad with MGx3, Plasma pistol, Demo specialists
Valkyrie Transport with the Missile Pods and LC upgrade

Elite: Sentinel wtih Multi-Melta

Fast Attack: 2x Cyclops remote control Demolition Vehicles

Fast Attack: Tauros Venator with LasCannon upgrade

Fast Attack: Tauros Venator with LasCannon upgrade

Heavy Support: Vulture Gunship with Twin Linked Punisher Cannons

I should be in pretty good shape, I currently have most of it purchased already, and am just waiting shipment on a single squad of infantry and the Tauros Venators.
I have yet to buy the Vulture, so that is on the "not sure if it stays" list.  I may have a go at converting one, shouldn't be too difficult.

Here is the list I am planning using the standard IG codex:

Company Command: Officer has a Power fist, Plasma pistol, and Melta-bombs.
4x Melta-guns
2x Bodyguards

Veteran Squad 1: 3x Plasma guns, Missile Launcher, Sgt. has a Power weapon
Veteran Squad 2: 3x Plasma guns, Missile Launcher
Veteran Squad 3: 3x Melta guns, Demolitions, Sgt. has a Powerfist and a Shotgun
Veteran Squad 4: 3x Melta guns, Demolitions, Sgt. has a Powerfist and a Shotgun
Penal legion Squad

Valkyrie squadron x3 with lascannon upgrades, and Missile Pods (carry the command, and the 2x Melta vet squads)

Vendetta Squadron x2 (carry the PG Vet Squads)

Scout Sentinel squadron x3 with Auto-cannons, and Hunter Killer Missiles

Storm troopers x8: Plasma guns x2, Sgt has a Power weapon and Plasma pistol


A much different list.  Of course those of you who know me will realize that this is all going to change 50 times from now until game day, but I always like to have a rough idea of the direction I am heading...
